Mitt Romney says he wasn’t surprised by the reception he got at the NAACP’s annual convention in Houston Wednesday. The crowd booed him loudly when he promised to repeal the health care reform law signed by President Obama. 

Yahoo News has a preview of Romney’s upcoming Fox Business interview, set to air tonight:

“I think we expected that,” the Republican nominee tells Fox Business News’s Neil Cavuto in an interview to air Wednesday night.

Romney also suggested that there are African Americans who will be supporting him but aren’t willing to say so publicly. From Yahoo:
 

“I spoke with a number African American leaders after the event and they said a lot of folks don’t want to say they are not going to vote for Barack Obama but they are disappointed in his lack of policies to improve our schools, disappointed in urban policy, disappointed in the economy,” he said. “While we disagree on some issues like Obamacare, a lot of issues we see eye to eye.”
